Here are the top three stories today in Cincinnati:

1. Cincinnati Children's doctors have saved an 11-month old girl after performing groundbreaking work. Tinamarie Flores, who has a rare and serious genetic condition called Trisomy 18, has relied on unique care provided by Cincinnati Children's. Flores is scheduled to return home tomorrow after starting chemotherapy for a tumor in her liver. (FOX19)
2. The City of Cincinnati will only purchase electric vehicles going forward. Mayor Pureval announced plans to completely turn the fleet into electric vehicles by 2035. The community can participate in the 2023 Green Cincinnati Plan by completing online surveys, submit recommendation forms, or joining feedback sessions. (WLWT Cincinnati)
3. Two teenagers have been charged with inducing panic by participating in the Orbeez Challenge. Orbeez are water gel beads fired from toy guns; in the associated challenge, videos of the act are posted to social media. The teenagers charged reportedly used the splatter guns to shoot at a bus; one of the teenagers is a 17-year-old from Cincinnati. (WLWT Cincinnati)
